My local running club, Stafford Harriers, has a "Complete beginners" class starting on the 10th Sept. Speaking to a worker at the railway station yesterday while booking my train tickets for an epic bike adventure I am doing next week, she suggested that I would enjoy it and it would help with my overall fitness.
I am not so sure given that at 92kg, I think I am too heavy to run. Indeed, I struggle to run to the end of my drive let alone knock out any relevant distance. Running also brings back bad memories of cold November mornings being made to run to Tottenham Locks and back while our games teacher sat in his warm office grinning at the pain he was inflicting upon us.
Is it worth it.... on the plus side, I get to spend money on new kit
And if I did learn to run (at school I was a 100 and 200m runner. I was of a reasonable standard and ran for the school for several years. Any further than 200m however, forget it!) I might be able to do a tri, which has been on my bucket list for some time.
